Jem's Creative Space
Добавлен 30 апр 2012
Hi I'm Jem!
I describe myself not as an artist but as a 'creative'!
I love to dabble in a wide range of mediums and have developed this space to share my love of creating.
For me creativity is a journey of discovery, there is no such thing as right or wrong, the joy is in the experience of the process as much as the end result.
Hopefully the ideas I share will inspire you to 'have a go'.

Depehemerember 2024 - Preparing a soft cover journal.
In preparation for the #Dephemerember2024 challenge, today I'm going to be making a soft cover journal to keep all the ephemera in.
Upcycling an old diary and some vintage fabric to create something purposeful.

Coffee & Tea dying 101
Просмотров 32День назад
When I first started Junk journaling, I heard so much about coffee and tea dyed papers but couldn't find a simple video to show me how. Today, I'm renewing my stash of dyed papers and thought I'd share my simple process with you. This is coffee/tea dying 101! As well as some copy paper, I've included a couple of other materials which can be successfully coloured as well.

Nature Themed Junk Journal - Flip through
Просмотров 3928 дней назад
This is a journal that I made in 2023, inspired by nature. Most of it is made of upcycled materials and a few printed papers. Apologies for the quality of this video, it was made before I had a stand for my camera and the journal has now sold! Despite that I thought it was worth sharing - hope you enjoy.

👍🏼😊
Thank you. Hope you enjoyed.
This is wonderful Jem, love the embossed window, the vellum looks beautiful. Great upcycling of the packaging, isn't it a satisfying feeling when you create something from 'trash'. New subbie for you. Cheers
Thank you Leigh - as someone I avidly follow, you have just made my day! Yes - I think we have a similar ethos when it comes to upcycling/using what others would throw away. I get far more out of projects like this than using everything new. It is also great to connect with someone else like minded from the southern hemisphere, as I'm in NZ.
Love the washi tape idea! We have some Christmas napkins , that would make great washi tape with the kids.
Thank you. Yes, I love the washi tape. Great to get the kids involved! Good idea for Christmas, it could be used to make simple Christmas cards too. Strips of washi tape vertically with a sentiment across the middle!
Great ideas, thanks 😊These are one of my fave things to use... I use watered down pva and it glues and seals if you put it over the top also. I have just covered a hard back book with it and love the texture❤
thank you so much. Yes I've used PVA to seal as well, its a great all round product really!
Some VERY good ideas. I love that napkin you used for the master board!!! 💜
Thank you so much. Yes I have to say it's a favourite of mine too.
So many ideas, so little time. I´ll have to live 200 more years only to try everything out what´s already on my crafting list. 🤣 I love the idea with the black paper, I´ll try that. The colours are just brilliant. And I also love this small size with so many pages and pockets and yet made from only one sheet of paper. TFS Jem 💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much. I totally agree about needing more time to try everything! I'd love to be able to create full time but at present life doesn't quite allow that. Re the black paper - yes I've been using it more and more to get a different effect and am really loving it.
P.S.: Hope you´ll get well soon. I´m sending love and Reiki. 💗💗💗🙌🙌🙌
ohh...thank you. I'm feeling better but the cough is lingering which is not good on video!
🤩🤩🤩 Love the zines, but the music 😍😍😍😍😍 so nice. I´m dancing while sitting here and watching. 😂 Where´s the music from? TFS Jem 💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏
LOL - I edit in a programme called Clipchamp and there is a limit selection of copywrite free music which you can add. I'm never sure whether viewers prefer music when watching or silence..........
@@jemscreativespace Aaaah okay, well this one was very nice, so summer on Ibiza kind of vibe. I usually don´t like lounge music but this was so fun. :) It really depends on what someone prefers. If I don´t like the music I turn the volume down and read the subtitles, but when there are no subtitles... that´s a bummer. But most videos do have subs.
@@Gigi-k7x thanks for the feedback. I tend to only put music on when I've sped up the video and there is no commentary to hear.
So tiny yet so fully packed with little treasures, LOVE it. 💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏
Thank you - it was one I really enjoyed making and it was virtually all upcycled materials.
I’ve never seen someone use pigment powders on a gelli plate before. Thanks for sharing your creative process.
thank you for your interest, I've been playing with them quite a bit on the gel plate lately and I'm really enjoying the effects. Did you check out the other video where I used them? (listed in description) I went into more details on that one.
I will check it out.
Very informative video!
Thank you so much. Glad it was helpful!😊
Thank you so much.
Really enjoyed your video. 😊
thankyou so much
So pretty 😍 beautifull napkins 💖💖💖
Thank you! 😊 I've just ordered a few different ones so watch this space!
Fabulous! Love the gold! I can't believe that I actually got though to the end of this challenge!😊!
thank you - yes a definite achievement. I'm just contemplating taking on Dephemereber (or however its spelt!)
Wonderful! ❤ 🎄
Thank you! 😊
I can't believe those stamps are still going! Must be nearly 20 years old 😂
Lovely!
Thank you
Magical! I am also doing the #GelyPostcardPlay New subscribers
Thank you
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊I really enjoyed making this one, perhaps I'll replicate it in some form for my Christmas cards this year.
I really love this!😊❤️

Very cool. 😊❤
Thanks 😁
Yay! Or should I say bzzzziful!
Haha - thank you.
Really beautiful card and sentiment ❤️
thank you, i think it is one of my favourites so far.
Great card using your transfer print and fun quote! ❤️
thanks Yolanda, I'm still finding it hit and miss with the transfers but that's half the fun!
Awesome orange stencil placement - beautiful butterflies - I'm enjoying the gel print postcard challenge - all your cards have been very enjoyable to watch.
Thanks so much!
Wonderful bubble effect and great choice of colours! Very attractive!
Thanks I always love a shaker card and it was good to be able to use some of my card making experience here.
Love the steps to the layering process of your creative postcard. Nicely done. Very striking!
Glad you liked it!
Gorgeous!😊❤️
thank you - although unsure how to use it initially, I was pleased with this one in the end,
I really love this!😊❤
yes - has to be one of my favs I think. I was reluctant to cut the gel print to be honest - but glad I did
It is bee-utiful!😄❤️🐝🐝
ha ha! :)
Beautiful!😊❤️
Thank you! 😊
Thank you 😊
Great video! I do zentangle and am participating in the challenge as well. I'll be live at 6 pm Pacific time.
Thank you. I'll be sure to catch up on a replay 😊
Lani and Aria love the butterflies!
Thank you girls - I'll show you how to make them!
❤
Ditto above comment😊I needed a Quickie idea for todays postcard! TFS
I think you've done brilliantly! Your makes are fabulous! I dabbled for a very long time as a card maker. Hubby was going to help me start up doing videos. He made a few of his own, taking the camera with us, wherever we went... but then he unexpectedly passed away. So, I just stopped.Then I watched Ceri and a few others and this challenge has just about got me going again... So perhaps it's about time I learnt to use all hubby's camera equipment, and have ago! Have subscribed!
thank you so much for your support. I'm so sorry to hear about your husbands passing. I find creativity a great tool in my mental health wellness kit and I'm so glad to hear you are getting back into it. As you can see from the upside down thumbnail here, I still haven't fully mastered the technical side yet but its another challenge..... (we also have a very slow rural internet service which does not help!).... I will persist! I love creating and sharing and although I teach some workshops in person, I've been nervous about going out 'worldwide'.
💚💚💚 🐸
thank you - sorry the thumbnail is upside down!
I love the crow-man. He needs a cool pair of sunglasses 😎.
that would look good!
❤ TFS!
Very nice. 😊❤
thank you
Love this one! The colours are great x
thank you - this seems to be a popular one!
Just found you recently. All your postcards are beautiful & unique. Hope more people discover you & your art. ❤
Thank you so much. It's taken me a long time to get up the courage to share my work so I really appreciate your support. I'll share some more of that I do next month after this challenge.
Very nice. You are very creative. Look forward to all your other postcards.
Thank you so much!
Truly talented. I have one style and you have an infinite number of ideas.
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments. I often wonder if I have 'a style' but even a week into this challenge I realise I'm probably a little diverse to be labelled - but hey I'm ok with that!!!
Lovely.
thank you
Pretty colors.
thanks - I think that combination of pink and turquoise are personal favourites for creating.
Completely out of my thinking -- I like this. TFS
Sometimes these things just work out how you'd envisaged! (sometimes not - lol)
Clever. I like the bubble stencil.
💙
Thank you. And also for your support in subscribing.
Lovely idea 😊
Thank you! 😊
